Sibley to Siesta

I showed a view looking down from the head of Siesta Valley last June. Here’s another view, taken from the north end of Sibley Volcanic Reserve in May 2005. Click it for a 1000×750 version.

One of the many things I love about the Bay area hills is the way the vegetation so sensitively reflects the sun, soil and moisturethe terroir, if you willof every locality. Here stands of oaks mark the rhythmic declivities where a little more shade and a little more water give them a foothold.

I hope you are all taking advantage of the fine weather to tramp these hills; alas, making a living has kept me indoors and off this blog lately.
